Obama: No Reason We Can’t Do Amnesty Before End of Year

Speaking to a group of business leaders at the White House on Tuesday, President Barack Obama said he did not see any reason a “pathway to citizenship” for illegal aliens could not be enacted before the end of this year.

To make his point, he argued that there are “some very conservative folks” who “believe that now is the time to get this done.”

Obama said that businesses “understand” the economic benefits of legalizing people who are currently breaking U.S. immigration law.
